Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium (finely chopped) shallot
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Brush both sides of the pork chops with olive oil and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the chops from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
Step 4
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, reducing slightly.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium-low and whisk in the Dijon mustard and heavy cream. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Step 8
Serve the grilled pork chops hot, drizzled generously with the Dijon cream sauce. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
